Table 2.

Summary of systematic uncertainties on the fully corrected jet spectrum, the corresponding nuclear modification factor, and the jet production cross section ratio in 0–20 % central and 60–80 % peripheral events for the resolution parameter R=0.4. The range of percentages provides the variation from the minimum to the maximum momentum in each centrality. For R=0.2 only the combined uncertainty is provided for, the difference to R=0.4 is mainly due to the smaller impact of the single particle efficiency for smaller radii
